What a creative mind! I can't even imagine something like this. I'd love to know the thought process behind this. I mean a cat can't help being a cat so Tweety is always in trouble. But there just ain't no meat on them bones! What's a cat to do?

I was comparing it to the Henry Cavill suit. I would love to see a longer render to see how light affects it. I noticed that when Henry is in shadows, the S looks just like yours. When it's not, the S pops out more but then so does the entire suit due I believe to the additional light and reflections. I think you are nearing the perfect Man of Steel suit.

Lighting does play a HUGE role in how the Henry Cavill suit looks on screen. I think they are using tight beamed spotlights in certain shots to highlight the emblem. And lest we forget, the color of the suit in BvS is darker than in MoS, and the Kryptonian texture is different. The emblem has more sheen in the BvS suit, and a brighter gold/yellow. I am trying to find a happy medium.

I usually find good ones at HDRLabs' sIBL Archive.

Not too bad, I guess. But it looks like I might have to go back to modeling the emblem. Or I'll have to fix the displacement map. There are actually 3 colors in the emblem: the red, gold and a black outline. The displacement map is only black and white, so I am getting those annoying wrinkles on the sides, and some color artifacts in the gold. I am going to see if I can find the BvS RGB codes and use those colors instead. This one still looks too subdued even in bright light.
You are making progress though, and yes that is the sIBL Archive Snarly mentioned in his EZDome Guide. I also have links to a couple of other sites, but I've had problems getting some of the HDR files to work because they aren't the same quality. In one case I didn't mind because it just looked like I had used DoF, even though I hadn't.

Kind of like that last image I posted! I found it and got a couple sets from there. I had issues with downloading from there. The download speed was god awful and it kept failing. It took me the better part of two hours to download just two sIBL sets. Well, that and the use of an ancient language known as Drunken Sailor...You are making progress though, and yes that is the sIBL Archive Snarly mentioned in his EZDome Guide.

Ohhhhh, where you out drinking last night??? Shame on you. ~shakes head~
I don't think I've had much trouble with download speeds, but I have cable Internet access. I can tell you a lot of sites are slower during the day, and quieter late at night, so I often do my downloading just before I go to sleep, and then get better download speeds. I had that once with one of the Poser SR's, though more with the content files than the software itself. I had to wait hours before I could get them all downloaded. Not everyone has a fast server.

Just a note. We're both working on individual projects regarding the Man of Steel. In the movie, the two were clearly a couple, fooling around in the tub and such.
In the comic book, they killed off the new Superman of the New 52 reboot and brought back the Superman that has lasted (and been more or less rebooted as well) from 1930's to the mid 2000's. He brought with him, his WIFE, Lois Lane and a son named Johnathan. Most likely named for his adopted father and will mean the predictions listed in Kingdom Come, arguably the greatest Superman story of all time will come true. Strange as Johnathan Kent is the offspring of Superman and Wonder Woman. Not Lois. In the future, Lois was killed by the Joker. It seems as if they merged the two futures where Superman left Earth and didn't return for a quarter of a million years. He was trying to search for a way to bring Lois back to life but his descendants had long since taken over his mantle as Earth's protector.

Again I think it depends on the lighting. Maybe change the hue to a lighter than the latest but darker than the previous one. Then as the storybook goes...it should be just right!
